Clinical Supervision
Grounded in Narrative Therapy, Feminist Theory, and Anti-Oppressive Practice
The room where we explore what it means to be a good therapist - not just the clinical work, but the identity that we all carry.
I'm Cecilia Mannella, RSW, RCC-ACS (cand) I'm based in Abbotsford, BC and I work with therapists across British Columbia & Ontario.
I trained with Dr. Stephen Madigan at the Vancouver School of Narrative Therapy — all levels — and have spent 12 years teaching at the bachelor's and master's level and supervised hundreds of therapists through the exact stage you're in right now.
I also built and run a seven-figure group practice, so I understand the realities behind the work — but in this room, our focus is you as a clinician, not your business.
I'm direct. I see patterns fast. I'll challenge you — but from a place of being completely on your side and bringing in some humour to the supervision space.
Clinical Supervision
A FEMINIST, ANTI-OPPRESSIVE APPROACH TO CLINICAL SUPERVISION
I don't do the traditional "expert supervisor tells you what to do" model. Supervision with me is collaborative — we co-create your therapist identity together. We examine the stories you've been told about what a "good therapist" looks like, and we build an approach that's actually yours.
My supervision integrates narrative therapy, attachment theory, EFT, and trauma-informed practice. I'm not trying to make you into a mini version of me. I'm helping you develop the confidence, skills, and insight to show up as yourself in the room.
Clinical supervision is a spce for case consultation, narrative-practice development, ethics, and the work of becoming the therapist you actually are. It is not business coaching. If you're looking for help scaling your practice, hiring, pricing, or building systems, that's a different relationship — and I do that work too, over in my coaching services. But supervision time is clinical time. We keep it that way on purpose, because that's what makes it good supervision.
